Guidekin's take
A short private visit to the Colosseum with guided access to the Forum, for people who want a guide to themselves without a whole morning, done in 1h 20m.
Entry ticket is included at €199 per person, tips and the underground are not. Jubilee restoration work can change what is open, so watch for the operator's messages.
In our comparison: #102 of 132 in Colosseum, Forum & Palatine Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
